Paperback. Condition: As New. No Jacket. First Edition. Paperback first edition in brand new condition. Striking Goya drawing of "Lust Unbridled" on the cover. Binding straight, pages clean and unmarked. Set in 1972, the novel concerns the shooting of a prize stallion at a breeding farm in Lexington. Stewart O'Nan said: "William… Heath pits his Chandleresque shamus against the America of Manson and Vietnam, and the only winner is the reader." Crime novelist James W. Hall said: "Mingling wry humor and tough guy dialogue that Elmore Leonard would be proud of, Devil Dancer is brimming over with haunting characters who are never exactly who they first appear. This is a first-rate novel of suspense that also accomplishes all the things we expect from our best works of literature." Publisher's Weekly: "In this entertaining novel, Heath delivers a fascinating and well-crafted tale that takes the mystery of the noir genre and injects it into Kentucky circa the sweltering summer of 1972. Wendell's investigation proves to be a good old-fashioned barn burner as a cast of rather colorful characters stumble into view the deeper he gets, leading to a rousing climax.". Signed by Author(s).

Paperback. Condition: As New. No Jacket. First Edition. Paperback poetry chapbook in as new condition. Binding straight, pages clean and unmarked. first edition, first printing. When William Heath began writing poetry in the 1960s, James Wright hailed him as "one of the most brilliantly accomplished and gifted young poets to app…ear in the United States in quite some time." Now after an award-winning career as a novelist, historian, and literary critic, he has returned to his first love. Night Moves in Ohio vividly captures his memories of growing up in Poland, Ohio,a suburb of mobbed-up Youngstown, the city at the heart of the thriving Steel Valley but notorious as "Little Chicago" for its numerous gang-land bombings ("Youngstown tune-ups"). Heath's poems, by turns raunchy and poignant, evoke via his unblinking eye, ironic asides, and acute ear for the American idiom, the dangers and delights of a by-gone era. "Every poem is engrossing, teeming with fascinating storyline detail and imagery," William Hathaway. "Night Moves in Ohio Is Heath's own remembrance of things past--an autobiography in rapt miniature of his unforgotten early life, mercilessly and compassionately lit by the laser-light of memory," Eamon Grennan. Signed by Author(s).

Paperback. Condition: As New. No Jacket. First Edition. Paperback edition in as new condition. Binding straight, pages clean and unmarked. Signed by author on title page. In late August of 1972, when the prize stallion Devil Dancer is shot, Wendell Clay, a war veteran recently turned detective, volunteers to solve the case. His…investigation becomes a three-day ordeal that teaches him more than he ever wanted to know about the dark places of the heart. Distinguished by its precise evocation of the Kentucky Bluegrass region, the novel deftly dramatizes a grim yet compassionate view of existence. While contempoary in its sensibility, Devil Dancer draws upon some of the oldest literary traditions of all: people swapping stories to sustain each other and a mortal man's confrontation with the mystery of life. "William Heath pits his Chandleresque shamus against the America of Manson and Vietnam, and the only winner is the reader," Stewart O'Nan. "What Raymond Chandler does for California, Heath does for Kentucky," Toby Olson. "Mingling wry humor and tough guy dialogue that Elmore Leonard would be proud of, Devil Dancer is brimming over with haunting characters who are never exactly who they first appear. This is a first-rate novel of suspense that also accomplishes all the things we expect from our best works of literature, James W. Hall. "Devil Dancer is an edgy un-put-downable novel. Heath is both original and elegant; he is, in fact, an engagingly entertainging writer. Devil Dancer reminds us all that love and life can be fragile and dangerous, and this comes vibrantly alive because of the author's sleek and graceful style. This is eloquent writing and compelling story telling by someone who knows his craft," Bob Leuci. Multiple copies available. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Paperback in new condition, first edition, first printing, signed by author. 158 pages. Going Places, set abroad, is the companion volume to Steel Valley Elegy. The first section is inspired by two years as a Fulbright professor at the University of Seville; the second draws on… lengthy stays in Barcelona, birthplace of the author's wife Roser; the third features their travels in Europe; and the fourth tours the world, including some places the author has only visited vicariously. "William Heath is a master at describing his journeys to fascinating, exotic, and challenging places in the world, where people, history, art, and natural beauty inspire his poetry. He weaves unforgettable poems with humor, skill, intelligence, and compassion, for he is a poet who loves the world and celebrates it, while accepting human greed and imperfection. "Travel is the saddest / pleasure in the world." Heath writes, thus capturing the traveler's pleasure of discovery and the pain caused by witnessing the suffering of others, the ravages of war, oppression, and ignorance. Few poets understand the fragility of world as deeply as Heath does. "Our hold on this world / is a thin thread," he states. We have much to learn from him and from his poetry." --Esperanza Hope Snyder Going Places is the mature work of a singular poet. For more on his career as a poet, novelist, historian, and literary critic. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Brand new paperback, first edition, first printing. Binding straight, pages clean and unmarked. Signed by the author of the title page. 140 pages. Prime Time combines autobiography, travel, social commentary, and philosophical speculation in ways that capture the author's disti…nctive sensibility, his wry and ironic take on the incongruities of life in America that blends laugh-out-loud comic riffs and deep meditations on the tragic aspects of existence. Beginning as a poet in the 1960s, with a long interlude as a novelist, historian, and literary critic, a decade ago William Heath returned to his first love and the results are four remarkable poetry books. Of his early poems James Wright said: "William Heath is in my opinion one of the most brilliantly accomplished and gifted young poets to appear in the United States in quite some time. I am especially moved by the delicacy and precision of the language, which indicates a distinguished intelligence, and by the purity and depth of feeling in his poems." The carefully crafted poems in Prime Time display the author at his mature best. John Stephenson called the book "a real pleasure, full of engaging poems on a wide variety of subjects, drawing on the poet's wide travels, life experiences, and keen insight," while David Salner found it "the most entertaining poetry collection I've read in a very, very long time, offering a panoramic view of human foibles, our morals and manners. The ordinary is recast with wit and precision, providing a brilliant commentary on our strange circus of a world.". Signed by Author(s).

"Blacksnake's Path is one of the best books, perhaps the best book that describes the earliest, wild and bloody days of the American Midwest," Jerry Crimmins. "With his encyclopedic grasp of the era and the territory, William Heath takes the reader back to the frontier Ohio Valley in the midst of its bloodiest war. As scenic and action-packed as the best adventure novel, Blacksnake's Path is a rousing, brutal use of American history," Stewart O'Nan. F/paperback, first edtion, first printing.
